Charge Air CoolingDefault The charge air cooling system, also referred to as after-coolers or inter-coolers, shall provide maximum air intake temperature reduction with minimal pressure loss. The charge air radiator shall be sized and positioned to meet engine manufacturer’s requirements. The charge air radiator shall not be stacked ahead of or behind the engine radiator and shall be positioned as close to the engine as possible unless integrated with the radiator. Air ducting and fittings shall be protected against heat sources and shall be configured to minimize restrictions and maintain sealing integrity. Alternative The charge air radiator shall be stacked ahead of or behind the engine radiator and shall be positioned as close to the engine as possible unless integrated with the radiator.
Transmission (Conventional Powertrain)The transmission shall be multiple speed, automatic shift with torque converter, retarder and electronic controls. Gross input power, gross input torque and rated input speed shall be compatible with the engine. The transmission shall be designed to operate for not less than 300,000 miles on the design operating profile without replacement or major service. The transmission should be easily removable without disturbing the engine and accessible for service. The electronic controls shall be capable of transmitting and receiving electronic inputs and data from other drivetrain components and of broadcasting that data to other vehicle systems. Communication between electronic drivetrain components and other vehicle systems shall be made using the communications networks. Electronic controls shall be compatible with either 12 or 24 Vpower distribution, provide consistent shift quality, and compensate for changing conditions, such as variations in vehicle weight and engine power. At a minimum, drivetrain components consisting of the engine, transmission, retarder, ASR, and anti-lock braking systems shall be powered by a dedicated and isolated ignition supply voltage to ensure data communication among components exists when the vehicle ignition is switched to the “on” position. Default A nominal brake pedal application of 6 to 10 psi shall be required by the driver to engage forward or reverse range from the neutral position to prevent sudden acceleration of the bus from a parked position. Alternative A nominal brake pedal application of 15 to 20 psi shall be required by the driver to engage forward or reverse range from the neutral position to prevent sudden acceleration of the bus from a parked position. The electronically controlled transmission shall have on-board diagnostic capabilities, be able to monitor functions, store and time-stamp out-of-parameter conditions in memory, and communicate faults and vital conditions to service personnel. The transmission shall contain built-in protection software to guard against severe damage. The on-board diagnostic system shall trigger a visual alarm to the driver when the electronic control unit detects a malfunction. An electronic transmission fluid level monitoring and protection system shall be provided. Default A brake pedal application of 6 to 10 psi shall be required by the driver to engage forward or reverse range from the neutral position to prevent sudden acceleration of the bus from a parked position. Alternative A brake pedal application of 15 to 20 psi shall be required by the driver to engage forward or reverse range from the neutral position to prevent sudden acceleration of the bus from a parked position. Default No Automatic Neutral Function The transmission shall not incorporate an automatic neutral shift function.
Automatic Neutral Function with Manual Re-Engagement The transmission shall automatically shift to neutral whenever the door brake interlock is applied or the parking brake is pulled for more than 5minutes. The driver shall be required to first disengage the parking brake and then apply the service brake to re-engage a forward or reverse range.
Automatic Neutral Function with Automatic Re-Engagement The transmission, when in forward direction, shall automatically shift the transmission to neutral when the vehicle registers zero road speed, engine is idle and service brakes are applied. If the status of any one or more of the three signals changes, the transmission immediately and automatically resumes forward mode operation.
Hill Holder A vehicle hill holder function shall be integrated with an automatic or reduced engine load state function to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement while the transmission is not in forward range.
Actuation of ABS and/or automatic traction control (ATC) shall override the operation of the brake retarder. Default Brake lights shall not illuminate when the retarder is activated. Alternative Brake lights shall illuminate when the retarder is activated. Default Standard Requirement for Retarder Activation The retarder shall be adjustable within the limits of the powertrain and activated when the brake pedal is depressed. The Agency will work with the OEM/drive system manufacturer to determine retarder performance settings.
Throttle Pedal Activation of the Retarder The retarder shall become partially engaged (approximately one-third of its total application, with a resulting deceleration of no greater than 0.077g) when the throttle pedal is completely released. Maximum retarder shall be achieved when brake pedal is depressed prior to engagement of service brakes, with a maximum resulting deceleration of approximately 0.20g in an empty bus. The resulting decelerations specified include the effects of engine braking, wind resistance and rolling resistance. The thermostatically controlled cooling fan shall be activated when the retarder is engaged and the coolant temperature reaches the maximum operating temperature established by the engine and transmission manufacturers. Default Accessible Retarder Disable Switch The retarder disable switch shall be accessible to the seated driver.
Retarder Disable Switch Not Accessible The retarder disable switch is not required to be accessible to the seated driver.
Disabling retarder shall be recorded for Agency data collection. Alternative Unless specified by the transmission manufacturer, a retarder disable switch will not be supplied.
